Tridge summary

A significant shipment of 13 tons of the Colombian variety of sugar mango (Mangifera indica) was exported to the US market from Santa Marta, Colombia, to the Port of Savannah, Georgia. This marks a milestone in the commercialization of the fruit and is expected to be the first of many sea shipments to the US, with potential expansion to the European Union and Middle Eastern countries. The fruit, known for its low fiber, good aroma, and flavor, as well as high phenol and carotenoid content, was grown on authorized properties in Magdalena and exported from a duly authorized packing plant. This achievement aligns with the Colombian Agricultural Institute's strategic plan and offers opportunities for sugar mango producers in Magdalena and the Caribbean region, potentially also positioning other Colombian agricultural products in the US market.
